All the videos and assignments were interesting and informative, I am just not sure how relevant they were to the specialization.

I loved learning more about social computation and the power of contributions by many people to reach a common design solution.
VB
The course has very good material especially in terms of crowdsourcing. Gave me really good insights in social thinking and how to relate it to your product

It was interesting to learn via Coursera. My very first time online course ever and I enjoyed it. :)

Really interesting course. Good introduction to the dynamics of group behavior and collaboration. Nice overview of advantages of crowdsourcing, but no mention of any ethical or economic concerns.

My least favorite of the group so far as it spends a bit too much time on crowd sourcing and was missing the latest industry powerhouse topics like Slack.
YW
i really like the crowd sourcing part. Thank you for the great class. I have learned a lot. This is my 4th one completed in this serial. Looking forward to the next one!

Great course, very practical and a great pack of skills which will help me interpret problems better, especially ones involving multiple people (which is basically all problems.)

One assignment is just very unrealistic to complete the way they describe, but the content is excellent

This is one of the most interesting courses I've come across in a while. Although not a Design course, it is very much relevant to the Internet industry today since most of the social networks employ features that have evolved from the process of Design.
Bit boring
classes were good.But too much long and big assignments made it boring .
I enjoyed this course the most in the specialization so far. I think it could be awesome as a Part 1 and Part 2, or maybe you all could offer an Advanced Social Computing course. This is such an interesting topic, and it's a huge part of how new technologies are being incorporated into the way we collaborate in many areas of social and professional life.
Social computing - this is a whole new world to me. It seems that I am living in such a world but never thought how it runs and what opportunities lie there. I am glad that I've gone through this course by Dr. Klemmer. It's a good start for understanding the most fundamental internet behaviors in the current days.
I really enjoyed this class a lot! The assignments directly tested the weekly material and I thought they were useful activities. The end quiz was good to re-think the entire course and reflect on all of the material we learned.
This course will make you work and think more. Some assignment will be one whereas others will take a good amount of time. Make sure you go through the video couple times or take notes while the instructor is explaining.

This was an excellent primer on how social collaboration and crowdsourcing works. Gave a good understanding of the concepts involved when creating such platforms.
